Bucket list stuff for sure.  Just make sure Johnny Depp is absent.

Re: Eric Clapton

I thought EC "retired" a few years back because he couldn't play anymore? What are his shows like now days? The Johnny Depp comment makes me think it's another 3-ring circus with all sorts of special "guests" carrying the show... I hope that's not the case.

I too thought he'd "retired" several years ago, so either something has fired him up again (in April he did a  five-night residency at the Nippon Budokan in Tokyo, Japan) or else he's nothing better to do. I see from his site, there's a new single, a guitar duet with Jeff Beck (RIP); Moon River. as swell as recently a duet with Van Morrison.

I think Curby was typing "tongue in cheek" with the Johnny Depp reference; there's no word as yet on any "guests", but hopefully not one as annoying...
